GUJ-W vs MI-W, Match 1: Top Five Picks

  1. Harmanpreet Kaur (MI-W): The Indian skipper will be seen leading the Mumbai Indians in the tournament. Harmanpreet Kaur will be a key player for Mumbai Indians' fate in the match as well as the tournament. She will be the best bet from the batters section in the fantasy contests. 
  2. Beth Mooney (GUJ-W): The Australian opener is coming into the tournament in great form. Beth Mooney has notched up two half-centuries in the last two matches that she has played. Mooney is going to be a hot pick for this match. 
  3. Hayley Matthews (MI-W): The West Indian skipper was the only positive thing for the team in the Women's T20I World Cup 2023. Hayley Matthews is in great all-round form and is doing it all with both the bat and the ball. Matthews is going to be one of the best bets for the fantasy contests of the match. 
  4. Ashleigh Gardner (GUJ-W): The Australian all-rounder has been in great form during the World Cup. She finished the tournament as the player of the series and the Gujarat team management will hope that she continues her all-round form. Gardner will be a very important pick for the match. 
  5. Amelia Kerr (MI-W): The Kiwi all-rounder is a very useful bowler, to begin with. Besides her bowling ability, she can also be pretty handy with the bat in the lower middle order. Amelia Kerr will be a player you would not want to miss out on in the fantasy contests for the match.
